We have so many houses going unused. We have food and resources for everybody, but we’ve set up a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people! Young children, with no understanding why society is this way, are suffering and dying because they live in a world that collectively agrees to let this happen unnecessarily

Fuck, I’m stoned but you know I’m right

Edit: and the sad thought hits me: the first step is realizing the system doesn’t have to be this way, the second step is realizing it isn’t going to change, at least not any time soon

    Minimum terms before sale and preventing use as collateral on loans are two very simple pieces of legislation that would make a huge difference in wealth inequality.

      And loans should be taxable, with repayments being deductible.

      Or we should just switch all taxation to be wealth based and not income based.
